The Pier That Burned Three Times but Refused to Die
A fire on a pier can be a deadly situation. With so many of Britain's pier's perishing by fire, how did one pier manage to outlive three? This is the story of Southsea's South Parade Pier: an iconic South-coast pier built for one specific purpose. Through several accidents that were no fault of its own, it ended up as a different kind of pier entirely. Let's look at the history of The South Parade Pier: it's origins, it's accidents, who was responsible, and what eventually happened to the pier that refused to die. Thanks to Portsmouth Museum, The Science museum, and The National Piers Society for some of the high-resolution photos that appear in this video. 0:00 Intro 0:40 A New Seaside Pier 3:02 The First Fire 5:12 The Second Fire 7:07 The Third Fire 9:14 A True Survivor
